Clients Also Ask
How much does a divorce cost in Harris County or Fort Bend County?
The cost of a divorce in Texas can vary significantly based on factors such as whether it’s contested or uncontested, the complexity of marital assets, and whether child custody is disputed. At Hirani Law Firm, we believe in transparency. During your free initial consultation, we will discuss the specifics of your situation and provide a clearer understanding of potential costs and our fee structure.
What factors does a Texas court consider when determining child custody?
The primary consideration in any child custody case in Texas is the “best interest of the child.” Courts look at numerous factors, including the child’s physical and emotional needs, the parenting abilities of each parent, the stability of each home environment, any history of family violence, and the child’s preference (if over 12 and deemed mature enough).
How long does a typical uncontested divorce in Texas take to finalize?
An uncontested divorce in Texas (where both parties agree on all terms) can often be finalized relatively quickly. There is a mandatory 60-day waiting period after the Original Petition for Divorce is filed before the judge can sign the Final Decree of Divorce. So, the minimum time is just over two months, assuming all paperwork is correctly prepared and filed promptly.
What are my father's rights in a Houston custody case?
Texas law presumes that it is in the child’s best interest for both parents to be actively involved in their lives (Standard Possession Order). This means father’s rights in Houston custody cases are strongly protected. We are passionate advocates for father’s rights, working to ensure fair and equitable co-parenting arrangements, including rights to possession, access, and decision-making regarding the child.
How do I contest a CPS investigation in Texas? What should I do first?
If you are contacted by Child Protective Services (CPS), it is crucial to take the matter seriously and seek legal counsel immediately. Do not wait. You have the right to an attorney. As your CPS lawyer in Houston, we can advise you on how to interact with CPS, protect your rights during interviews and home visits, and represent you in any court proceedings that may arise from a CPS investigation.The first step is to call us.
Can grandparents petition for visitation or custody in Texas?
Yes, under specific, often limited, circumstances, grandparents in Texas can petition for court-ordered visitation (possession or access) or even managing conservatorship (custody) of a grandchild. This usually requires showing that denial of access would significantly impair the child’s physical health or emotional well-being, or if both parents are deceased, have abandoned the child, or are otherwise unfit.
What is the general process for a legal name change in Texas?
To legally change your name (or your child’s name) in Texas, you must file a Petition for Change of Name in the district court of the county where you reside. The petition must include specific information and reasons for the change. You’ll typically need to be fingerprinted and undergo a criminal background check. A brief court hearing is usually required where a judge will grant the order if all requirements are met. We handle name changes for adults and minors efficiently.
What are the grounds for divorce in Texas? Do I need to prove fault?
Texas is a “no-fault” divorce state, which means you can obtain a divorce without proving that your spouse did anything wrong. The most common ground is “insupportability,” meaning the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate ends of the marital relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation. However, fault grounds (like adultery, cruelty, abandonment, felony conviction) can also be pleaded and may impact decisions on property division or, in some cases, spousal maintenance.
How do I file a personal injury claim in Fort Bend County or Harris County after an accident?
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence (e.g., car accident, slip and fall), the first steps are to seek medical attention, document everything (photos, witness info, police reports), and then consult with a personal injury lawyer in Houston. We will investigate your claim, gather evidence, deal with insurance companies, and fight to get you fair compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
What is a prenuptial agreement, and should my partner and I consider one?
A prenuptial agreement (or “prenup”) is a legal contract entered into by a couple before marriage that outlines how assets and debts will be divided in the event of divorce or death. It can protect separate property, clarify financial responsibilities during the marriage, and address spousal support. If you or your partner have significant assets, a business, children from a previous relationship, or expect a large inheritance.
